Hin Tin Playground

Although K is in grade 1 (longer time to work on school work and preparations), we try to head out and play just like we used to, or as much as we could ! Especially now when school is still half day. Hence, we head straight to Tai Wai for a playground I longed to go.

This is the kind of playground I think the government should built more for each districts. Playground is not just for entertainment or somewhere to wear out kids’ energy. It should be able to assist kids in developing healthy mind (emotions, social skills, play behaviours that kinda forms characters) and body (strong cardiovascular system, flexibility, balance, and hand-eye coordination), all while playing.

There are varieties of play equipment, suitable for kids from kindergarten to at least 5th grader, with different physical capabilities. Besides the classic slides, merry go round, stimulation wall, there are climbing ropes, balancing logs and steps, bars and the wobbly carpet for kids coordination, and working on their gross and fine motor skills, along with core strengths.

Shaded: Not the play area but there are plenty of covered area with benches

Refreshment: Vending machines for drinks right next to the playground, or walk to the convenience store, bread shop right behind (MTR station)

Toilet: Hin Keng Market across the road or a public toilet near tennis courts (5mins walk)

Mommy : ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Kids : ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

How to get there:

- Take Tuen Ma Line and get off at Hin Keng station exit A

High Island Reservoir East Dam (萬宜水庫東壩)

A couple of months ago, I planned on an easy scenery walk with kids and their friends. We left home right after school, only managed to grab a bite on the way to Sai Kung. There are plenty of hiking trails waiting for us in Sai Kung but this time, we go for the easiest route, just a short visit to the East Dam. It’s a reservoir formed in 1978, known for the volcanic rock columns and anchor shape sea barrier(錨形防波提), a breakwater. There’s public toilets right at the entrance to High Land Reservoir East Dam, along there’s information on volcanic rocks and pavilion. It’s concrete or asphalt pavements all the way down to the sea cave which is proof of coastal erosion (海蝕洞). On your way down to the breakwater, there’s a gigantic wall of volcanic rocks, which is the hexagonal rocks columns! Its a 140 millions year old volcanic history. Along the way you passed the road with sea barrier (my suggestion is to spend time here on your way out), hexagonal volcanic rocks on your right a...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors. However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep; 1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses 2. Stock up your backpack. Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

Amphibians or Reptiles ?

Do you know how to differentiate amphibians and reptiles? Well, we learnt that (yes, even as adult, I learnt with my kids) at the amphibian classroom held by ki2zoo Kids absolutely love the class ! They asked to have a pet gecko or snake few months back, but of course, mommy is no fan of cold-blooded pet, so I rejected 😂 Hence, they’re looking forward to this class, being able to held and pet those (in their word) “cute and adorable” little geckos and baby snakes. The 1hour 20mins class time include introducing, little quiz game for kids, picture and petting time. Kids now know that the 🥚 eggs for reptiles and amphibians are different, reptile’s is with eggshells and the latter lay eggs in water and covered in gel ; 🦎 reptiles’ skins are dry, hard and scaly while 🐸 amphibians are smooth and highly porous : and amphibians needs water in their habitat their life cycles involves that. If you’re interested, I’ve gathered some information from the organisation:...
